The house defeated the bill making il
obligatory upon the board of control of
Northern Michigan asylum to employ a
homeopathic physician as medical super
intendent.
The senate committe on appropriations
and finance has made a report on the
house bill to equalize bounties to volun
teers in the late war of the rebellion. They
examine the laws and reports upon the
subject and reach the conclusion that the
state does not owe the increa ed bounties
proposed as matter of equity or justice.
They examine the question whether the
state owes the bounties inferentially and
morally, and answer it In the negative.
Then they come to the third and last ques-
ton Ought the state to generously aud
phianthropically give this money! Their
answer to this is in part as follows: Evi
IDENTIFY the legislatures of all these twenty
years have believed that they must be
ust before they could be generous. But
in q question of generosity the first point
to ascertain Is the amount asked. Gen.
Robertson's answer to this que ton says:
ITO equalize bounties on the basis of 500
to each man, as near as can now he esti-
mated, would rec uire the sum of s6, 1850
and to make the basis $3.50 to each man,
80 per cent more, or S10,175,4s5.o Now
the chief argument in favor of additional
bounties at all is that the sum paid should
be equaliZed, and whatever this proves
is in favor of the larger sum, costing more
than sl0,000,NO In fact, if we are not to
equalize there l. no argument in favor OF
anything. So we are confronted with
this enormous sum of ten millions. Can
generosity be asked now on the ground
that the state or its citizens have not
been liberal before. Recall to mind the
large local bounties paid by cities
villages, towns and individuals for volun-
teers. The provost marshal generals re-
port says: Michigan paid Sg,G64,S55, and
that officer states in his report that this
sum does not include nearly all counties
paid, for he was unable to obtain full re
ports, and from many localities no reports
The state itself paid in bounties 81 1884, ZOO
This deducted from the aggregate would
show that the amount reported as paid by
the locslities was 81, $50, 1t5 This enormous
sum does not show lack of liberality. But
this is not all. When the soldier was en-
listed, liberality had only Just begun. Re-
call the law which provided by counties
for the families OF soldiers during their
absence. There are no doubt many men
in this senate who were supervisors during
those J ears of war and who dealt out to
wives and children Of those soldiers, S.
SO, $l5 and even 20 per month for years.
The aggregate of these sums has never
been, never can te computed. The COM
mittee refer further to the amounts paid
to the soldiers by the general government
and to the amount expended for the
soldiers home, and close with recommend
ing that the bill do not pass.

The village Of Lockport, hslf mile south

decided sensation. a prominent young
man living there had been married about
one year, and it seems another man fell
in love with his young wife. This other
man was wealthy, and made an
offer of $500 TO the husband for
mis- wife. The offer was accepted, the
money paid down, and the other man
and the young wife have departed for the
west. Since the bargain was consum-
mated the husband has been filed with
remorse, and deeply regrets that ne was
so foolish SIS to sell MS young wife for
such psltry sum. The case is without g
parallel in this section of the country,
and causes much comment.

Special to thc Gazette.


WASHINGTON, July 5.-The Hoffman
H Ouse cafe in New York is the Meccs to
which all politicians seem 90 Journey
whenever they visit the metropolis
Here you may find, at any hour of the day
parties of prominent men who sit around
d small table discussing men and events
New York politicians naturally predomi-
nate. A day or two ago your cOrrespon-
dent found there half a dozen men who
are prominent in the affairs of the state
and nation. Among them was the Hon.
Dan Lockwood of Buffalo. Dan used to
be known as the "great nOminator." He
it was who presented the name of Grover
Cleveland to the Democrats of Erie
county as their candidate for sheriff
Again about ten years later when the
same party was looking about for suita
BILE candidate for mayor of Buffalo,
Lockwood sprung to the breach, mounted
the rostrum and called attention to
the merits of Grover Cleveland as can
didate tor the maYOralty. Once more in
1888, in the Syracuse convention of the
Democracy, the fame and character of
Grover Cleveland was set forth to the
Democrats of the Empire state, and
Lockwood was The man who filed the
Dill. The following year, in Chicago, his
party was looking about for leader,
when LockWooG's handsome face attract
ed the attention of the multitude, and
every ear in that vast assembly was
strained to catch every word as he eIo-
quently touched upon the life and public
service of Grover Cleveland, just as he
presented his name as the candidate of
the Democratic party for the Presidency.
Dan Lockwood's advocacy of Grover
Cleveland in four different campaigns
undoubtedly aided him materially in
winning every one of them. Dan Lock
wood has been regarded as Cleveland's
mascot, and without Lockwood in the
van the party in New York would be dis
hesrtened. OF course Dan has been
recognized" for his services.
Oh, yes. He was appointed about
year ago to the position Of United States
district attorney for the Northern DIS,
trict of New York. If he works hard and
is economical in his expenses ne cen per-
